How yours truly read the title.

Like, to the next town over, or even further?
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 3 months ago:
Mhm. That said, only a few places around where I live have “coin operated” carts. I guess the places that do have them got tired of the selfish, inconsiderate sobs who didn’t return the carts.
To me it feels so utterly strange to just dump a cart in the middle of a parking lot and, seemingly, think nothing of it.
- Comment on Anon uses a phone book 3 months ago:
I first bought a phone as soon as the first GSM networks opened, in Norway, in 1993. My first phone was a Pioneer PCC-D700 and, if memory serves, it cost 2995 NOK / ~300 EUR.
Before GSM became a thing, phones were crazy expensive, though. Almost as expensive as an iPhone, he.

I’ve seen that movie, and it was terrible.
How about Alien vs. Batman, or Predator vs. Jackie Chan.
- Comment on Awnings: a simple cooling tech we apparently forgot about 5 months ago:
Maybe, in the future, we’ll have rapid up/rapid down trees? With AI. Maybe they’ll get the ability to walk, too, so they can stand where they provide the most shade.
- Comment on Disc market share for week ending in 2024-06-29: "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" makes a chilling entrance at 1st place, having no need to act Ungentlemanly. 5 months ago:
Godzilla x Kong in second place is… puzzling. I couldn’t get through more than 10 minutes of that shit.

It makes up for it by having a brain shaped like a battleship gun battery.
- Comment on Radio Caroline, Britain's pirate radio station broadcasting from sea, turns 60 years strong 6 months ago:
They’re still on the air?! Wow… I read a lot about it (and Radio City) a couple of decades ago, as I was reading up on the Maunsell Forts. I had no idea they were broadcasting back then, so to learn they’re still on the air now is fun.
- Comment on Euro bottles are so much better now 7 months ago:
On many bottles I’ve encountered the ring that keeps the cap attached to the bottleneck has been quite loose, so you rotate the cap up/left/right, thinking you’re good to pour, then as you get going the cap slips back down, ensuring you distribute whatever you were pouring all over the the table.
- Comment on So which is it? 7 months ago:
Alternatively, just salad, just bowls, just wraps and just more.

- Comment on Why Heat Pumps Are the Future, and How Your Home Could Use One 8 months ago:
I was just reading an article on heat pumps in Norway; in 2004, only 4% of households had a heat pump. In 2023 that number had risen to over 40%, which probably equates to almost all homes that aren’t apartments.
Heat pumps have become very efficient, and as a bonus you get an airconditioner, too.

UK harvesting the benefits of Brexit.
- Comment on Shopping at Target 1 year ago:
Me neither, nor do I ever think I’ve been to a shoe store that keeps boxes of shoes on the shelves like that. I’m used to display models; find something you like, then you ask an assistant what sizes you’d like to try on.
- Comment on Linear TV Falls Below 50% of Viewing for First Time 1 year ago:
2010, that was the year I returned my cable decoder to sender. Now I forget linear TV is still a thing, and it must’ve been a decade since I heard anyone utter the words “did you watch X on Y last night”, as well.
